Oh MY! Well I am always amazed at the goings on here during primaries every 4 years. This group decides that one is not conservative, and that other one is not conservative enough and all the rino name calling.

Here we go again!

John Boehner and Mitch McConnell are the Republican leaders

and they managed to convince the Republicans to fund Obamacare for a year, funded all the Illegals AND funded the derivatives market.

Learning ABSOLUTIST NOTHING from 2008.

Oh but you think Conservatives should blindly support the Republicans no matter what they do???

LOL!

The issue to me isn’t that one candidate in 2016 isn’t more conservative or not conservative enough. My only issue is with the term RINO when ascribed to progressive, liberal Republicans. Let’s stop calling people like Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush and Chris Christie RINO’s. Call them what they really are, big government progressive Republicans.

He’s not name-calling; he’s pointing out the painfully (to conservatives) obvious, that the Republican party is not a good match for conservatives of any stripe. He’s laid out the salient points that demonstrate that the GOP differs from the democrats only in the speed at which they increase the size and over-reach of govt.

If you disagree, I’d be interested in hearing a refutation to any of the points stated. Particularly, how the GOP welcomes and accommodates conservatives. Even if tongue-in-cheek — we could all use a good laugh.
